Vasili and I visited this big sister recently to help celebrate the arrival of her new baby brother, Karim.  Any shoot with older siblings is a favorite of mine as I think they always make things more fun and of course this one was no exception.  Although the session was all about baby Karim, Juliette totally charmed her way into my heart as she showed me how much of a great big sis she can be and then with a little game of Red Light, Green Light at the end our session.

Anyway, here are but a few of my favorites from our time together with Karim, Juliette and their family 🙂 A big congrats to them, and an even bigger thank you for allowing us the privilege of capturing their biggest treasures XO

The Artist

Suzzane
brown

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked with individuals and families who understand the value of time. And the importance of preserving it well.

My work centers on creating living archives: carefully composed records of a life as it’s being lived. Not performances. Not surface moments. But the relationships, environments, and details that define a legacy.

I approach each commission with the eye of an artist and the discipline of a documentarian. Listening closely. Observing deeply. Shaping work that is meant to endure. Crafted on film, finished as heirloom objects, and designed to be held in your hands, lived with in the home, and passed down in your private family vault. 

This is not photography for the present moment.

It is art made in service of memory, history, and the generations that follow.
